FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
A nationally screened film produced by Lehigh Valley filmmakers to premiere locally at Allentown Brew Works on October 24.
“On Joy & Sorrow – The Glass Prism Story” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 24 in the Silk Lounge at Allentown Brew Works, 812 W. Hamilton Street.
The film tells the story of The Glass Prism, who rose out of industrial Scranton with the first concept album, “Poe Through The Glass Prism.”
The Glass Prism achieved rock ‘n roll fame in the 1960s using the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe as the lyrics to its groovin’ progressive rock tunes, but the group’s journey to stardom was quickly snuffed out like so many bands of the time.
The film chronicles the rise of the band, its ultimate demise and the journey of the remaining members, who 40 years later, decided to reunite and start rocking again.
The film is an Official 2009 Selection of the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival and the Flint Film Festival, of Flint, Michigan.
The documentary is a collaboration of Bob Ross, of Jim Thorpe, and Sarah Fulton and Matt Lewis, of Allentown. The filmmakers plan to attend the screening.
The event is open to the public. Doors open at 7 p.m. Oct. 24. The screening will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Silk Lounge, lower level of Allentown Brew Works. Come early to claim a good seat! Guests are encouraged to patronize Brew Works, which is graciously hosting the screening, and enjoy the restaurant’s delicious food and award-winning microbrews.

Don't worry...we are STILL working on screening the film in Scranton. We've had trouble finding the right venue. We definitely want to share this with a hometown audience!
